The Marcus Garvey Bronze Sculpture Project is an effort to create a Garvey sculpture and install the sculpture in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in the African Union main conference building. It will be the first statue of Garvey erected on the continent and endorsed by the Garvey Estate. Ambassador Yaw Davis will provide a brief historical review of Garvey's influence on the African world. There are also exciting travel opportunities for the public associated with this project that will be shared.
In addition to his presentation, he will briefly discuss the rich history of Ethiopian Aviation and its diasporic linkages. See the following link for some background: The Dream of Abyssinia: Two Black Aviators and Ethiopia | National Air and Space Museum
